Our Mission
East-West International School is a community of students, educators, staff, and parents striving to achieve excellence in a caring environment. It is the mission of East-West to develop responsible global citizens who are creative problem solvers, lifelong learners, effective communicators, and active community members.
Our Vision
It is the vision of East-West to provide each and every student the opportunity to learn, to be challenged, to be creative, to think critically, to know acceptance, and thus to provide a strong foundation for further study and/or work in an ever changing world. East-West is dedicated to academic excellence. By making learning relevant and appropriate, East-West hopes to instill in each child a lifelong love of learning and the ability to solve problems creatively. East-West also wishes that each student learns about and appreciate Cambodian culture and language, as well as other cultures of the world, thus giving them a global perspective so that each becomes a responsible world citizen and a contributing member of society. Respect for cultural differences, language, and background of all who are the East-West community is an everyday expectation which engages students in the realities of this global perspective. East-West strives to become a leading educational institution, both locally and internationally.
